Etymology
'intricately-crafted' originates from the combination of 'intricate' and 'crafted'. 'Intricate' comes from Latin 'intricatus', meaning 'entangled'. 'Crafted' is derived from Old English 'cræftan', meaning 'to build or make'.
'Intricate' evolved from Latin 'intricatus' to Middle English 'intricat', and 'crafted' from Old English 'cræftan' to modern English 'crafted'.
Initially, 'intricate' meant 'entangled', but now it refers to something complex and detailed. 'Crafted' has maintained its meaning of 'made with skill'.
